Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Dear 5i,
If you were to invest 1 to 2% in a TFSA for a minimum 3 to 5Y hold in either LCFS or TWM which one would it be? Can you please comment on the debt levels of each? Can you please comment on how significant the carbon credits are for each? Would you expect tax selling for these two in the next couple of months and what do you think would be a very attractive entry price?

Q: This stock looks like a bargain. Stripping out any value for goodwill and you still have book value of $9/share. Shares trade at just over $6.40. Their business has really evolved and their recent carbon capture contract ( hard time even finding the news on it) is big. Lots of similar types of deals possible. This company reminds me IBI Group, another turnaround situation (Peter Lynch classification).

Q: I am on the sidelines right now. If the market drops significantly I will buy back in. If it does drop enough for me, which 6 oil and gas stocks would you buy? Majors, micro, US, Canadian. It does not matter to me.

Q: Hello,

Given the current bottlenecks for natural gas in Europe and the long time frame to ramp up LNG conversion/processing facilities - are there any Canadian conpanies that could benefit from this demand over the next 5-10 yrs and how well are they positioned in terms of supply and strategic focus?

Thank you

Q: Hi 5i Team, could you provide some clarity please.

Josef Schachter of Schachter's Eye on Energy, recently made this statement, among others, in respect to fallout from the EU/Russia energy issues. I am trying to understand exactly how this could manifest into a colossal crises. Can you expand on the following quote and provide a better explanation. In your opinion, is there any merit to the quote? Thanks:

"Margin calls are being faced by energy producers in Europe. Norwegian giant Equinor sees energy trading desks needing US$1.5T to meet margin calls. This could be worse than the Lehman incident in 2008. The problem is not with the physical markets but with the derivatives market. This is a financial crisis of much greater magnitude than the Global Financial Crisis of 2008-2009 (GFC)."

Q: Hi 5i team.
about 6 weeks ago sold AQN for a tax loss and increased position in FTS and bought some BEPC on top of BEP.UN as I am thinking of switching to BEPC to make life less complicated tax wise.
Problem (and a good one to have) is that I have a large capital gain in BEP.un.

Utilities portions as total of all portfolio.
BEP.UN is about 2%
BEPC about 1%
Fortis about 2%
Polaris about 1%

Question is what to sell or reduce to add in AQN back at about 2%?
Would you suggest a different mix?
I like the dividends and am OK w slow to moderate growth - retiree and looking at conservative ongoing investment. (I like all of these stocks.)

I am willing to pay some taxes as I worry about the capital gains tax rate rising at some point under our current government.
Subtract as many questions as needed.
Thank you.
